Testing the engineer trap: Lure them in with a robot, then pull the robot out and close the door. (The door is actually a force field... Time for them to be shipped to a new team!)

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

"Umm guys, the robot is still overweight. We're left with no choice but to cut off a limb. All in favour for a leg, say I. Okay, excellent, it's settled.

Guys, where did that muffled shriek of terror come from?"

Team 230's robot experiences a brief moment of claustrophobia on February 18th...

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

"If I keep pushing maybe the robot will be able to fit!"

Dude's grandma is a master carpenter. She obviously didn't appreciate his shirt.

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

Team member staring in disbelief: Dude, what are you doing?!?

Dude: Man, I'm practicing for the real deal. If I can push against this for awhile, the glass ceiling is going to be an easy breakthrough when it comes to helping science and technology go mainstream.

Team member shrugs as he walks away mumbling: geez, FIRSTers...

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

Cool. Another piece of my FIRST Collector Set arrived. Thanks, AndyMark!

How can I think outside the box when they won't let me out of the box?

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

I told those freshman building the crate that it had to be taller inside.

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

The people at the storage company decided to play a prank on FIRST teams by replacing the robots in the crates with unusual things. Team 230 was grateful to only get a crazy human; other teams got reenactments of 2 Girls 1 Cup.

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

Crate handlers -"Wrong! Clearly its not go time. Darn punks and their robots and clever t-shirts."

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

I don't think that he understands the concept of working outside of the box.

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

In 2009, the humaniod robots showed claustrophobic tendencies

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

WHAT?!?! How could he not have taken in the antidote to roboacne?

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

Note to self...
Make sure newbies understand that when you discuss things like "raising the ceiling" they understand which ceiling you are talking about.

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

The greatest insult to a FIRST participant - being mistaken for a robot.

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

[NPOE]*hopes that Billfred watches seinfeld*[/NPOE]

Person in crate: "This crate thinks its better than me? Lets kick it up a notch. ITS GO TIME!"
"Ow, my back, I cant move...."
Another person: "Call an Ambulance!"


3rd person: "AMBULANCE? THIS IS SHIPDATE! GET OUT OF THE CRATE"

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

The funny thing is, he doen't know that the forth wall isn't there and we can actually see him..........ahhh, what people do behind "closed" doors....

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

The robot got to go on the plane to the regional while the student was forced to go via FedEx. The team provided enough food, but forgot to pack other basic necessities, such as a razor. By the time he got to competition, he was rather hairy but still ready to "raise the roof"

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

"Raise the Roof" clearly has a different meaning to this individual.

Budget cuts during the filming of the sequel to "the brave little toaster" resulted in the lesser known, and more sinister "the angry big crate"

Re: CD's Unoffical Caption Contest #230
 

To complement thier 'Team in a Box' product, the members of team 341 have a alpha version of 'Robot Builder in a Box' now in testing. Once they have overcome the issue of product maintenance during the holiday shipping season (think aroma), they will begin shipping beta units to teams identified by a panel of judges as connoisseurs of fine humor.
